If you refer to the author in your text, the author's name does not need to be included in the parentheses. Quotation marks must be used when you are borrowing exact language (approximately five or more words), but not when you are paraphrasing or summarizing. MLA uses parenthetical citations, typically the author's last name and a page number.
Sources can be virtually any form of information you choose to include in a research project: text from books, articles, or websites, images and photographs, audio, video, artworks, or even tweets. This is not only true when you are using exact language but also when you are paraphrasing or summarizing material. When writing an academic paper, you need to indicate in your text when you are using the words or ideas of an outside source.
